Russia is still flying the Tu-95. I think it’s the champion here.

Strategic bombers a not real, they don’t exist!
Turns out stealth bombers are expensive and large super fast bombers are expensive and not much better. So we just keep ticking the old frames over while we slowly build up generations of stealth bombers.
For what it’s worth the B52 will eventually get phased out by the B21. I think they just want some of that savings from not running so many different airframes.
The question is will the B52 make it over the century mark?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep a few flying just to say they made it past 100. The plan for retirement is already pretty close to 100 years.
